Itaituba municipality, Pará state - Amazon Rainforest region, Northern Brazil. August 28, 2020.
View from the balcony of a house by the Crepori river, in a community inhabited exclusively by gold mining workers, mostly male. There are some local commerce, mostly dedicated to mining supplies, gold shops, one supermarket, and many prostitution houses. For the past thirty years, the Crepori river has been exploited in search of gold in a crescent level. As the river is an important tributary of Tapajós river (one of the biggest Amazon basin river), environmentalists concerns are focused on the high level of damage this illegal mining is causing to Amazon basin and Amazonia biome. photo and text by CAIO GUATELLI
